UPDATE: Gearvendors OD no reverse
It's the third year now that my F350 has no real reverse and I want to fix that this year (for shure... )
It was not that bad because I helped me out with the good old D60 front axle to drive backwards if needed...
What happened:
Behind my C6 + BW transfer case is a gear vendors overdrive installed. Some day it popped "out of gear" because of an assh*** who was going to hit me so I had to floor it, brake hard and floor it again and that was the moment where it "popped out". I had no forward gear at that time...had to stop...switched the OD off, restarted the engine and then I could drive again - even OD worked fine the rest on my way to work. After work I wanted to back out of the parking lot... put it in "R" and with a LOT of slippage I could back up ("oh no" I thought at that moment ). The second time I tried reverse was completely gone.
I searched the net and found that this could be caused by a broken "reverse band" in the GV OD ?!?
After that I contacted GV (two years ago) and they only wanted me to sell a complete new rebuild unit...and because I'm living in germany and with shipping, duty and taxes this would cost me around 1500-1800€ which is around 1600-1900 $. That's why I avoided it so long.
Do you guys know a better way than to buy the complete unit from GV?
Is there a way to repair it for not so much money?
Or does someone have a unit for sale?
Thanks in advance.
BTW: I like this forum more and more... great people here!
